Residency Program
At the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) each artist and curator is provided with a private and furnished studio space and 24-hour access to all communal facilities. While ISCP does not provide accommodation, most sponsorships include stipends for living expenses, travel, materials and housing. Residents at ISCP are encouraged to take advantage of the in-house community of artists and curators, offering invaluable international connections, professional conversations and critique.
A residency at ISCP is typically three to six months, although artists and curators can apply for up to one year. While in the program, all residents are invited to participate in a number of activities in and outside of ISCP including the four core program activities: Visiting Critics, Field Trips, Salons and Open Studios.
Visiting Critics
The Visiting Critic series is the hallmark of ISCP's residency program. It introduces
residents to professionals from museums, galleries, alternative spaces and
publications within the context of a studio visit, generating critical feedback
from diverse positions.
Field Trips
ISCP organizes
visits to museums, galleries, alternative spaces, archives and other
places of interest to art professionals. Often, a curator or staff member
introduces the institution’s mission and program. Past Field Trips have
included the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Conservation Department at MoMA,
Dia:Beacon, CCS Bard, Art Omi, art spaces in SoHo and on the Lower East Side,
private collections and many other institutions in Greater New York.
Salons
Residents at
ISCP are invited to present their recent work in semi-monthly public Salons.
ISCP Salons feature film screenings, performances, installations and lectures
and introduce the work of ISCP artists and curators to the New York art
community. Upcoming Salons can be viewed here and past Salons can be viewed in the ISCP archive.
Open Studios
Twice a year, in May and November, ISCP hosts four-day long Open Studios, presenting work by the 35 ISCP artists and curators in residence, accompanied by live performances, panel discussions and exhibitions. During Open Studios, residents present recent projects, work in progress, site-specific installations and their archives to over 2,000 professionals and art enthusiasts from New York and beyond. The Open Studios archive can be viewed here.
